You Great Big Beautiful Moon

Last night you appeared with that bright, big, buttery, creaminess of you'rs. As if you just couldn't wait to cast your beauty on everyone, every where... as if to say; "Here, take this light, let it drape over you and yours with goodness, let my light lace all life with the best of everything our hearts and souls desire. The effect you have on us is as subtle as it is stark. It's been cloudy and rainy here in Burkee Town, the air warm and muggy one moment then turns crisp, clear, clean and extra nice. All of this makes for a delicious caldo as July winds down, served-up with a smile to light-up the sky.

Further Than the Eye Can See

South America, Mexico-Acapulco, Guerro. July 1, 2010 and I am here. I crave the ocean while immersed in the great spirit of south western United States and live in New Mexico, my home sweet home. The people I love so dearly nestle in their lives, work awaits, projects loom, daily living ensues. I attempt to keep pace with the ebb and flow, the rhythm of the high desert, rocks, dirt, gravel, grid, concrete, hustle & bustle about in the goings-on that require my attention, the business of life, day in/day out city living.
For now tho’ I sit in awe, I’m humbled and wonder about the oceans vastness, its rhythm, the massiveness, its might, as unforgiving as it is phenomenal in measure and magnificance. This week I am spellbound by the endless horizon. I look out at the sea, no houses, cars, buildings, transmitter towers lining the seascape, no stores, shopping centers, malls.
Gravity, the rotation of our planet, the push pull is orchestrated in such a way that storms occur more in a sporadic nature than constant, although consistently sporadic. Tsunami’s, as real as can be become a metaphor for life, triumphs and trials overpower the unprepared with gigantic tidal waves of despair, doubt, fear while calm waters are shallow and can run deep, so deep and still, with sweet foamy gushes of delight, joy, anticipation for good things to come.

This desert dog visits as a foreigner in a world that seems like a dream. Reality lives around the corner and works hard every day here and out there, as we bask in the lap of luxury… the irony, the stark contrast, the quiet desperation of all humanity, desperate for peace, love, respect.
Mystery prevails, faith calms my restless soul and I find the more I unravel the more I realize our existence goes further than the eye can see. It’s unrelated but relative as you are to me.. we are to them and they are to us. Vile viscosity in one part of the world, in another part... wondrous waves repeat a seemingly slow muted thunder, crashing, bam-boom over and over again like a masterful work of animated art.

On the back end of a week’s worth of wonderful R&R, July begins for me, in an unusual manner, making me count my blessings with much appreciation for such tremendous moments as these.

Breathing Down Our Neck's

So Sunni Marie, you know the four-legged-golden-hair, good doggie-dog- Boxer and me go out for a walk to the park down the street. Perfect evening for a stroll with your best girl K9. You call us out to get some air, we need it. Hey you knuckle heads in the house, c'mon out, I'm here you lucky people, come see me, get a load of me. So we did and glad of it. On our way back I feel you breathing down my neck, no doubt Sunni felt you on her furry, flashy white and goldness too. One word, one syllable; NICE. Thank you for the subtle and sweet gesture. It was not lost on me.

One more look-see at you in all your radiance before I call it a night and my goodness aren't you just about as lit-up, large and lovely as can be? How I enjoy you when the sun shines it's shine on you. See you, feel you early tomorrow perhaps? If not catch you tomorrow night. Night night precious moon. I hope you cast sweet light in every one's dreams.

The Boxer

Here's to Chloe (Puppy of The Day-5.23.2010), Sunni Marie Jack Paz (Paws) Guadalupita, Annie, Spike & all the fab-ah-liss Boxer's who have brought and continue to bring soooo much joy to my life. I love Boxers too.

Here's Sunni Marie >

They Say

"They Say" by Deniece Williams & Phillip Baily is an amazing version but something about the quality and strength of the Deniece Williams & Sandi Patti duet is electrifying, absolutely inspired. It is about a soulful a song as they come when singing praise to the name of Jesus. The man who came to save us from ourselves. "They say, he was just a man... had the strangest plan, that his love would set the captives free..." with the capacity to give life eternally to those who beleive." Hallelujah!!!

With profound respect and humility I submit; The being, entity, representation of the Glory & Grace of God, The Holy Spirit and source of life, Blessed One... is more, so much more and beyond what we can conceive, "miracles ARE true" "what he's done for me, only Christ can do."

What he, she, the author & finisher of life continues to do... what cannot completely be described but only referred to as one who walked and indeed walks the earth teaching, sharing with everyone, everywhere in search of the truth, peace, love, the perfection and ultimate way. Prayers, in the simplest form & blessings constantly stare at us right in the eyes & hold us closer than our own heart beat. The intructions laid bare... the way, the light, the port in our storm, many tools and resources are required and given to traverse the land of the lost. The good news is available to find refuge under and over the wings, the arms, the fire and sacredness found in what I know in my heart and soul to be God Almighty... everything & more that Jesus represents to humankind and all of existance.

May Blessings be yours, mine and ours forever more.

Air, Err, Ayr, Are, O2

You ever start out to do one thing and end up with quite the other? Me too. What happened was, I went looking for the quote; "To err is human to forgive divine" by Alexander Pope. Then and not too terribly different then the original thing I was looking for... I came across the following thing I like a lot too. "How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd." ~ Alexander Pope

May you have a good May and every day be better than the day b4.
